We’ve all been there. You roll into a party with a friend and while knocking back some mimosas you’re introduced to their friend. That’s when the magic happens and you hit it off so insanely with friend B (“I feel like I’ve known you for years!”) that friend A gets completely cut out of the picture. Well in this case RuPaul is the friend you arrive with and “Drag Race’s” JuJubee is the friend you leave with.

Last year she emerged as the breakout star of that reality competition and now belongs to the elite group of runner-up’s who become more famous than the winners thanks to her perfect combination of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

Now Miss JuJu has ascended the reality throne and, along with seven other queens, runs Ru’s “Drag U,” which gives real women makeovers that aren’t just skin deep. I caught up with JuJubee at The Ali Forney Center’s Oasis Inaugural Summer Beneift to talk “Drag U” and stealin’ queens before I forced her to Dragulate my haggard Barbie doll.
